Deepcar

Deepcar is a Mesolithic archaeological site in South Yorkshire, England, excavated by J. Radley in 1962 near the junction of the Don and Little Don rivers at Wharncliffe Wood. The dig revealed a structure defined by a circle of river-worn gritstone blocks and over 22,000 worked flints dating to approximately 7500 BC, ascribed to the Maglemosian culture. Deepcar became the type site for "Deepcar-type assemblages" of microliths identified across England, making it one of the most important early prehistoric sites in the country.
